Mercer Culinary supply a lot of knives to Chef schools from their entry level Genesis range.

This is from their premium MX3 range which uses a VG10 steel and a rockwell hardness around 61.

At first I thought it was just a good priced knife, but when I looked on Amazon.com it is currently being sold for $117 usd, nearly $180 Aud so my guess is that this is a pricing error.

I have just received mine today and it is balanced just in front of the handle so great for a pinch grip, and the blade is very sharp and likely to stay that way for some time given its hardness.

The 3 layer construction is not as visually appealing as a damascus style knife, but it is still a great looking knife and feels good in the hand.

I think it competes against IO Shen knives rather than Shun, but still a nice knife at an unbeatable price for the quality.

  I bought a Mercer slicing knife for $10, I don't think it's a good brand, just ok

  Best bang for the buck is Victorinox

  Never used steel knives before, what's the rust resistance on this? Requires a wipe down after a few cuts?

    What have you been using?

    VG10 is a stainless.

  The nakiri has increased in price but if you click through the others on the page the prices vary wildly. e.g. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B00M3SJTSG?th=1 $88.80.
  These look decent but I'm a Henckels 4 Star man myself.

    and it pays to check. I've wanted one of these for a while - https://www.amazon.com.au/ZWILLING-Henckels-Four-Star-Knife/… $84.04 is the lowest I've seen it.

  Wow, already expired, it was that price for almost 2 weeks, then within an hour of my post it shoots up.

  I guess that Amazon scan this site to track when things become too cheap!
